Sex Therapy Certificate Program

Exclusively for psychotherapists, counselors, nurses and

doctors who want to help their patients with sexual problems.

The need for sex therapy education around the globe came to our attention when we began getting emails from many different countries asking about our programs.

Our other programs are designed to meet certification requirements for the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). Unfortunately, AASECT is unable to certify sex therapists outside of the US, Canada, Mexico, and Israel*. Realizing there was a need, psychologist and sex therapist Dr. Stephanie Buehler designed a program just for you.

What makes this program unique is that it focuses on the practical essentials of sex therapy. Dr. Buehler will share with you how she approaches her own patients using lectures, research articles, case examples, and other media.

In this program you will learn:

Sexual development across the lifespan

The sexological ecosystemic approach to understanding sexuality and behaviors

Culture, religion, and family influences on sexuality

Definition of sexual health

Triage of simple vs. complex cases using the “PLISSIT” model
